Youngtong District, Maetan 1-dong Conducts Civil Defense Emergency Mobilization Drill

On the 24th, Maetan 1-dong, Youngtong District, conducted a civil defense emergency mobilization drill at Dongsuwon Elementary School with approximately 500 participants including civil defense members with five years or more of service and unit commanders.

The civil defense emergency mobilization drill was conducted to examine the usual response capabilities of civil defense members and cultivate the ability to respond immediately in the event of a disaster, as well as to promote disaster prevention, response, and recovery for homes, society, and the nation.

Kim Gyo-won, head of Maetan 1-dong, stated, "One year ago, the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami caused casualties and property damage, and as provocations are expected such as North Korea's announcement of special operations by its revolutionary armed forces, the necessity of civil defense mobilization drills is further emphasized."
